Van Morrison

- He may have recently been knighted but the Northern Irish legend doesn’t appear to be resting on his laurels.

- With his 2015 album ‘Duets: Re-working The Catalogue’ receiving the similar high level of praise he’s been accustomed to throughout his glittering career, Van the Man will deliver a masterclass at The Hippodrome.

- Classic tracks such as Brown Eyed Girl and Have I Told You Lately will no doubt go down a treat.
